Google Maps wants to iPhone


Google is working to its mapping service returns as an application on the Apple devices. But insiders remain sceptical as to whether Apple will allow. Finally, from the former partners now become bitter rivals.


Perhaps there will soon be an alternative to the much-criticized Apple Maps on the iPhone. As the "Wall Street Journal" reports Google is currently finalizing an own maps app. A trial had been sent to individuals outside of the company, the newspaper said, citing a person familiar with the matter. It is unclear, however, is sought when the approval for Apple's iTunes Store.

Apple had to launch the iPhone 5 in the new version of its operating system IOS in September replaces the proven Google Maps through a separate service that returns matured on material. The disappearance of the card was a sign of the growing rivalry between the former partners. The Internet Group is one of the mobile operating system Android to Apple's closest rivals in the mobile business. Apple founder Steve Jobs was also an imitation of Android and IOS continued a law suit going.

The launch of its own map service for Apple, however, was a debacle. He did not know many places, place marks sat wrong or distorted images presented represents After a wave of criticism and ridicule asked Apple CEO Tim Cook pardon and recommended that temporary maps of competitors such as Google, Microsoft and Nokia use. However, the path from the browser, not an app.

Apple fired the responsible for the failed service manager Scott Forstall , asked customers to be patient and promised to improve the application quickly - and meanwhile, made progress.

Against this background, and the competition of the two companies, it is questionable whether in fact Google Maps on Apple devices returns as application. The "Guardian" reported earlier this month, citing sources at Google, the Internet company that was not very optimistic that Apple issuing the permit.
